Title: Still Waters
Author/Artist: White Rain
Pairing: Sumeragi Subaru/Shirou Kamui (implications of Seishirou/Subaru and Fuuma/Kamui)
Fandom: X/1999
Theme: 29. the sound of waves
Disclaimer: I don't own X/1999.

It's been a week since Subaru left.

Kamui picked up a small pebble and slowly circles the smooth, cool surface with this thumb. He'd taken to come to a lake nearby the CLAMP Campus during free moments, because otherwise he would have given into the temptation to search for Subaru. And he knew that wasn't his place.

"I'm not broken," he had said, wearing the coat covered in the Sakurazukamori's blood. Kamui wished he was broken, because something broken can be fixed. He wasn't dead like Kotori-chan or buried like Fuuma. Subaru is simply gone in every single way that had any meaning.

In some ways this hurt the most because Subaru was there for him after Koroti's death and helped him realize his Wish. He'd been there for him like no one else ever had been and Kamui had counted on it, expected it to stay that way. If for no other reason than Subaru would feel it was his duty.

He abruptly lifted the pebble up to his face and pressed his lips against the once cool surface; it had grown warm from Kamui's ministrations. He wondered what it would have been like to kiss Subaru.

He tossed the pebble into the lake, and watched it skip. The water was only affected by it for a moment.

Kamui looked down, clenching his fists. He couldn't help but think the water was like Subaru, and he was only able to affect in minor, meaningless ways, and only for brief moments.

He wished bitterly the Sakurazukamori was still alive so that he could kill him. It wasn't jealousy as much as the fact that he'd taken Subaru completely and no one would be able to touch him again, not even for a moment.

Kamui stood up suddenly. He shouldn't brood any longer. He had to save Fuuma.

He lost Kotori-chan and Subaru because he'd been too weak, he wasn't going to allow the same thing to happen to Fuuma.

I'm so glad to see some of the CLAMP fandoms hopping over here. I've been a long-time fan of your stuff. I'm erislyte on lj. I'd be kind of a GodLurker at this point, if there were such a thing. I don't know if I have ever commented on anything you've written (I think I have before, quite a while back). Lol, you would think I would have made my presence known before now. I've been following X since around 2003 and I've gotten into TRC within the last couple of years.

Anyway, I love this. Perfect prompt fulfillment. I like your stuff so much because I can just imagine Kamui kissing the stone. I can imagine his thoughts about kissing Subaru being like kissing the stone. It feels nothing. The outside is intact but the inside is just dense and empty of warmth. I love how you say so much with so few words <3.

Everything you write is so uncluttered. Love it.

Okay, I am going back into lurk mode now. *INVISIBILITY!*
